중학생용 국어 학습사전의 체제와 내용

Abstract

This study expresses the need for the use of Korean learner’s dictionaries in middle-schools and proposes a system and the dictionary content suitable for its implementation. In an attempt to increase the persuasive power of the proposal, the study reviews the achievement criteria under the current curriculum and maintains that there should be Korean learner’s dictionaries for middle school students, with more content than a basic Korean dictionary. The study presents specific content for a Korean learner’s dictionary for middle school students, based on the review results of other language learners' dictionaries. 『Rekai Shinkokugo Jiten 例解 新國語辭典』(Sanseido 三省堂) for Japanese and Merriam-Webster's School Dictionary for English. Based on the discussions in Chapter 2, which review the achievement criteria under the current curriculum, the study shows that identifying and presenting the "content helpful for using expressions according to situations and intentions" should strongly be considered as a feature in thedictionaryforKoreanlearning.Basedonthatproblematicconsciousness,thestudyproposesasystemandcontentforthelearners’Koreandictionaryformiddleschoolstudents. First, it proposes, with regard to a macroscopic structure, that Chinese characters in common use should be registered as headwords, that compound headwords should be restricted, and that root-based headwords should be arranged. Second, it proposes, with regard to a microscopic structure, that information for the analysis of morphemes should be offered, that information about the limited scope of choices between sentence forms and words should be provided, that the arrangement of semantic items should be adjusted to show the expansion principle of meanings, that subject information related to definitions should be included in definitions, that examples should be given by the compounds, phrases, and sentences processed in the most appropriate form in terms of education level, that information about expressions and references in addition to definitions should be displayed in precision through a boxed article, that the headwords containing encyclopedic information should be catalogued and provided in the appendix, and that the appendix should provide punctuation marks and certain signs in each subject area along with explanations.
